Monday Musings

Monday Musings... that's my way of kidding on that my ramblings have some purpose.

Here are a selection of today's ramblings.

I reckon it must be Spring because I have some of these...

 

... in my garden (the word 'garden' being used in the loosest sense possible, you understand),

and because we (again, 'we' is being used rather loosely here) have some of these....

 

They are cute.

Not, of course, as cute as...

 

If it weren't for the daffodils and the lambs, I would argue that Spring is nowhere in sight. 

If I was to decide on the season according to the temperatures outside, I would most definitely conclude it was Winter.

Our temperatures are in single figures (low to mid-40s Fahrenheit), and our winds are 50-60mph. Now, normally on a day like this, I wouldn't need to face the elements. Up until Saturday of last week, I would have seen the weather only from the safety of the inside of my home.

That, of course, was before Jackson, who has been the cause of my having to go out on numerous occasions today. 

Jackson, I want you to know that I wouldn't have braved that cold wind for anyone else, but having the pleasure of seeing you ....er, well, you know, er...do the business, made my day. 

Over and over again.

Last night, I had a dream that I was showing the Pioneer Woman the sights of Aberdeen.

There are three huge problems arise here:

1. I don't know the PW. She's a famous blogger, and when I begin dreaming about other bloggers - famous or otherwise - I worry that I really do need to get a life.

2. I don't know one end of Aberdeen from the other.

3. There are no sights in Aberdeen worth seeing. 

(Apologies to any Aberdeen-loving readers out there. I am willing to be corrected.)

Today my brother, his wife and kids, my sister, her husband and kids, and my Mum and Dad called in. While they were here, my Mum suddenly realised that all her and Dad's children, their spouses and all their grandchildren were right here under one roof. 

Great blessings.
